(THE SUTRA OF FORTY-TWO CHAPTERS --31)

The Buddha said: "There was once a man who, being in despair over his inability to control his passions, wished to mutilate himself. The Buddha said to him: 'Better destroy your own evil thoughts than do harm to your own person. The mind is lord. When the lord himself is calmed the servants will of themselves be yielding. If your mind is not cleansed of evil passions, what avails it to mutilate yourself?"' Thereupon, the Buddha recited the gâthâ,

"Passions grow from the will,
The will grows from thought and imagination:
When both are calmed,
There is neither sensualism nor transmigration."

The Buddha said, this gâthâ was taught before by Kâshyapabuddha.


(佛說四十二章經 --31)
佛言。有人患淫不止。欲自斷陰。佛謂之曰。若斷其陰。不如斷心。心如功曹。功曹若止。從者都息。邪心不止。斷陰何益。佛為說偈。
欲生於汝意。意以思想生。二心各寂靜。非色亦非行。
佛言。此偈是迦葉佛說。
